So in the recent update. Patch notes said that with ikelos weapons the more boss you kill the more chances you have of a ikelos weapon to drop. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ADD THAT CHANGE TO STRIKE CATALYST OMG. I've done 150+ prestige nightfalls this season alone and have only gotten one catalyst dropped and im so f****** upset over this drop rate plz do something about it.

I have all 5 strike catalyst. I did over 400 prestige nightfalls and over 100 Heroics. The last 3 to drop were over 100 apart. I will say it was the least fun I've had in this game up until the new raid gimmicks they added. Just gotta keep grinding this NFs. This NF is real easy to speed run. Good week to farm them.

This is why I'm currently on a break from destiny. Was grinding strikes just for the riskrunner catalyst since they were released and all I got stuff I already have in my inventory. It has been almost 3 weeks since I Iast played due to my bad rng.

Yes, the drop rates are a joke. I could at least sort of understand it if the items were actual badass weapons but as catalysts, it doesn't make much sense, especially when you can get some others just messing around in patrols.

Bungle tries to use flawed logic that they don't want people to eventually pass on doing strikes if they can get these easier...well this lousy drop rate does not entice me to do more heroics and nightfalls and in a way, makes me NOT want to do them.

EP is so much better that it's laughable. While I'm guessing I was on the lucky side, in my first 11 clears I got 2 SMGs and the SG (last night the SG after 2 clears) to drop as well as the 4 pieces of armour from the chests and you know what I'll be doing more of than heroic strikes even after I get the sniper? EP.

Personally, I enjoy it the way it is. I would never go out of my way to grind strikes just for the catalysts, but I enjoy the fact there are elusive and mythical drops out there. I know the chance is low, but I think it provides great "Holy shit!" moments that any MMO can benefit from.

I'd feel differently if the drop rate was this low on guns that we needed to fill out our toolkits, but catalysts are typically just frosting on the cake. I'm sure I'll have them all eventually, and until then I'll enjoy the whoopin' and hollering that happens when someone snags one. It feels equally great seeing one drop in Crucible as well.

Yes we do because they have dropped just fine for me. Do you have any confirmed information as to how much higher the drop rate is once your scores go up? All my weapons and other NF drops came from low score speed runs. That includes catalysts. So what exactly are you trying to express here? Could you give us an idea how the chance improve, mathematically? Thank you.
